The chickens always come home to roost in their coops at night.........well, I have two who never do! We converted an old but cute dog house plus a big dog crate to a new chicken coop for my 2 Polish cross chickens. They were in their with their mom since week one they were born. Mom moved...

I have a chicken which has/had bumblefoot on one of her feet. I treated it the way I did successfully in the past with other bumblefoot cases: soaked the foot in Epsom salt water, tried to open the scab, but did not find a core or any pus most likely because I caught it early enough. The wound...

I just thought I would share: My broody hen went on "Lock-Down" today. The last time she came off her nest was yesterday late afternoon to eat, drink and dust bath. It was day 18. Today I opened up her crate like I did all the other 18 days before, but she did not come out anymore. Isn't it...

I do have some eggs in my Hovabator which also has an automatic egg turner. The egg turner always worked well and no exception at the beginning of this incubation, but now it seems to be stuck in just one position. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, can hear the motor working, but it does not...

Not too long ago I have seen an advertisement of someone selling initials carved into chicken eggs. Unfortunately, I cannot find it anymore. Does anyone on here do egg carving and if so, how are you doing it? Photos of your artwork would be appreciated, too.

I do have a 3.5 years old EE hen who started not to each much about 10 days ago. She has been dewormed regularly (last in December) and checked for external parasites. She is also not egg bound (checked for that, too). When I checked her crop last week, I found a large gravel piece in there...

My neighbor dropped of a huge box of meal worms, Superworms and Calciworms for my chickens today. While I always feed them meal worms, I have never fed them any Superworms or Calciworms. Does anybody know, if these are OK to feed to chickens or are there any concerns?

I was wondering if anybody knows about the Polish chickens. In Europe they are called Dutch top heads and it sure makes sense if you look at paintings from old Dutch artists......... Overseas it is a western European chicken breed, not eastern European. There are many "Polish" breeders in the...

I have hatched some Black Copper Marans from a reputable breeder. They are only 8 weeks old so far, so a lot will change. However, I was wondering, if people can only show the feathered legs/shanks Black Coppers according to the French Standard here in the US or if there are different classes? I...

My chickens are in a heavy molt. I noticed that they were eating less over the last month since they are molting. The feed has not been changed, smells and looks normal. Some of them are skinny and three of them have a watery diarrhea of normal color. They have been dewormed regularly, latest...

My 15 month old Cochin has an abnormal soft swelling below her vent, seems fluid filled. See photo after bath. She used to be an awesome egg layer all summer long, but stopped - due to molt I guess for about at least 3 weeks now. She is in a severe molt with some bare spots. She has been...

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/mob/1433423067.html This is animal abuse! So I have flagged it.

I bought a new bottle of Blue-Kote and spilled it all over me, skin and clothes, stupid me. I took a long shower, with plenty of soap and scrub brushes, got some of it of, but there is still a lot on me. The shower also has some purple stains now, tile and tub. I do not care about the stains on...

[email protected] These are simple EEs and I probably would not even pay $15. I love the breed of real Araucaner, but seeing something like this, makes me sad. Hope people educate themselves before falling for such a scam.

I have a 3 yr old hen who has not layed eggs for a few month now. At the beginning of the year she laid some huge eggs, bigger than before last winter. I thought that was normal, because egg size increases after laying cycle one. Also I thought because of her age she might have slowed down...

I would like to replace my current 2-D battery fence charger with an electric one (I already have one). The current one is placed right next to the coop, but an electric one is supposed to be weather proof in or at the house, which is not far but far enough from the coop. If it needs to be in...

Anybody familiar with those or where to find labor law answers? Maybe I am just pitty and should just be happy that I have a job during these tough economic times. I work for a big company (1800 employees off-season, up to 5000 peak season). I was told about 4 years ago, that if a company...
